A man had found a snake that got its head stuck inside a can and called the rescuers.

He also posted a video of the incident on social media platform faceook.

He said, ‘I got a call from members of public who found the snake on a path with its head stuck in the can. They tried to free the snake first. I was contacted for advice and I suggested the situation was too dangerous for them to proceed.

I then picked up the snake and my partner and I had the difficult and delicate job of cutting the snake out of the can.

My 10-year-old son was holding my phone and recording while we freed the snake. The snake made a full recovery at one stage’, this information collected from social media.
